So Trump ice cream would be not about Trump at all?
It’s either restricted to personal use, or it’s GPL-3. How can you have both?

Maybe the Economist wanted to provide good analysis for their readers and they feel sorry that they failed.
Maybe systemd could do that.
Kagi is the new arch Linux.
$10 was in a magical „don’t even think about it“ zone. When they increased the price I started thinking about it and switched to keepassxc.

This might be true for voluntary transactions. For others not so much.
People are suspicious to being rug pulled. There have been many of those instances in the past, where companies advertised with FOSS, but didn’t mean it. A proper FOSS license and clear and assuring communication about the long term freedoms associated with the product are important.

I am interested in the assumptions or new paradigms. How to distinguish “from first principles” from “intuitively from scratch”?
Everyone hates tariffs because they are now created by the executive branch of the government at a whim of one person. Undermining democracy and creating economic uncertainty globally.
What first principles were used to build this?
It’s the current western society’s end game. Idolized members of the start-up culture reached the finals.
AFAIK the whole RBAC-authorization came from the openshift people. So they solved the whole problem already and put it in a really nice package. So if you just want to have a multi-tenant kubernetes out of the box you should definitely take a look at openshift.
